My Date with Doc Oc

Before I sat down to relax with the hubs, I decided I would knock out the update.

I've got three follicles vying for Folly of the Year. That's the most follicles I've had at any mid-cycle check thus far! Average size was only about 16ish mm (14.5, 16, 17), so they're definitely not ready yet, but we're on our way! Wednesday I go back to check in and get triggered. All goes well and we'll be getting our first IUI on Thursday.

Let's hope it all goes according to plan!

I was relieved to see that things were ticking right along, even if I wasn't feeling anything like I did last month. I've got to STOP this over analytical thing I've got going on. This week will be bringing plenty of distraction as we've got family (on both sides) in town this week/weekend. Next week I am the only manager in our whole office, so hopefully that means the week will go by fast! The weekend after we'll be camping. TONS going on, so bring on the distraction! My birthday will be CD28 and approx 13-14 dpiui.... now the question is - Would you test on your birthday!?

O-Day

Similar to D-Day, but... not.

I have never before had more of the 'classic' ovulation symptoms. Yesterday I was a royal CM mess and could feel very minor discomfort/twinges in my lady-bits region. This morning, almost exactly 36 hours later (which I didn't notice until it happened)I am having some mild cramping. Not the sucky/throbbing AF kind, but a bit sharper and more localized (if that makes any sense at all!).

Is this what it is like to be a function female member of our species!?

I'll take it!

Here we begin another round of the longest two weeks of my life. Thank god I have plenty to keep me busy or it wouldn't matter if I ovulated because I would have spontaneous combusted from the waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Oh, and sometime remind me of the HILARIOUS story of where I sent R a picture of my VERY clearly positive OPK and she nearly shit herself. SO. FUNNY.

Happy Friday-Eve! I'll 'see' you later for my next instalment of Thankful Thursday. Love ya!

Trigger Happy

I came home to this:

And did this:

It was the first time I'd ever given myself a shot and I'm happy to report it wasn't bad at all! I was REALLY nervous. But, I managed it! J was pretty bummed I wouldn't let him do it. So he manned the camera for benefit of you all! Now go ahead and tell me how privileged you feel for getting to see a little tummy chub... go ahead, don't be shy!

Thursday morning the alarms are getting set early and J and I will celebrate the 35 hours mark (just before 36 hours) with a good old fashion romp in the sack. Those of you on the east coast can just go ahead and toast us with your morning coffee, it'll probably be about 6am your time. lol

I finished all of my other chores (including the final touches on the main paint color in the kitchen! Tomorrow is the accent wall.) and now I'm going to spend an evening vegging on the sofa. Wouldn't want to distract those big ol' follies from doing their thing.
